The hotel is very hip, modern and has great facilities. They are very popular so the rooftop bar was packed and we couldn’t go in. Also staff is not easily accessible because of the business model but once you reach them they are very helpful.

It’s starting to show its age with some stains, scuffs, etc. wouldn’t have been a big issue if the room appeared clean. However, many signs it had not been vacuumed. Deck area probably had 30 cigarettes laying around. We let staff know. Room got cleaned second day but cigarettes were still there when we checked out days later. Visit for the rooftop bar but I’d skip staying here in the future.

We were in room 215 trying to get to sleep and whoever was above us was stomping around banging doors or closets until midnight. It sounded like staff of some sort (is that a kitchen?) was already in my pajamas so I did not go down to the lobby to tell any staff (and there was no phone in the room). Very disappointed.

I was not happy with the fact that the property is not properly "manned" with a front desk. I also did not like where the parking was and that we had to pay $20 daily for parking. There was no shower gel in our room. The bed was good and we enjoyed the coffee amenities and the fridge in the room. We did not eat at the dining at the property but were told that it was a good restaurant. This property is VERY convenient to many things in Charlottesville.

It feels like their business to keep it easy with the checking-in and out process is smooth, which it is, but the place seems empty and without hospitality and warmth. The floors could use polishing, the walls need attention. It could use some love and the owners to take care of it.

We had a problem with the A/C in room #323, It was too warm. We asked to have it looked at. We were away from our room all day and no one looked at it. We got back and we contacted you guys again at the phone number provided. The desk guy came up and looked at it and did nothing more than mess with the thermostat, which we had already tried. It still did not work. He told us he was going to move us to #422. We had a dinner reservation so he said he would check to make sure the A/C worked in that room while we were gone. We came back at least 1.5 hours later. That room was warmer than room #323. Obviously he had not checked to make sure it was an improvement. So he contacted management about moving us to another room and we moved, again, to room #205. Finally, the room was cooled and the A/C was working. He showed no initiative to help us without us constantly controlling the situation. He never helped us make the 2 moves by providing a luggage cart or any other solutions. We felt as though he was trying to make the issue "go away" for him and was not concerned about solving the problem for us. On a positive note, the Valet, Cain, was very friendly and helpful to us, even called us by name when we dropped off or picked up our car from the valet service.

Valet parking is pretty much a must, but downtown parking is always challenging. Minor annoyance. Valet staff is great tho. All other aspects, lives it

No person to check in

Nobody could check in as there is not a person, a code is required to go up the elevator. I was unable to get access the elevator until after 5:00 pm. I granted early check in and was trying to get up to my room since 2:15 pm.

I really like this property but there are two areas that I think could be improved upon. First, there are no water bottles in the room or at the hotel available to purchase. Second, I was forced to tip on line in order to access my car. I had already tipped the valet in cash and the system you all use will not allow you to request your car without tipping first.

I would not stay here again. I cannot count the amount of emails and texts I received prior to arrival. I did everything asked in advance, and yet after checking in after check in time our room was still dirty. There were cobwebs in the windows, a mulch fire outside our room, and a broken coffeemaker. That was the last straw. We requested a replacement since the one in the room was broken. We waited and waited. No one delivered and even after asking again - crickets. Don’t stay here.
